Advocate Christ Medical Center Nurses Are Nationally Recognized for Excellence

In April, 2005, Advocate Christ Medical Center became the first Advocate hospital to be awarded the American Nurse Credentialing Center's (ANCC) prestigious Magnet designation. This designation is the highest honor and level of recognition ANCC awards for excellence in nursing services. Magnet designation is the gold standard by which nursing and patient care is measured. The nurses at Christ Medical Center have achieved what few others in their profession have: Less than three percent of the estimated 6,000 hospitals in the United States have achieved Magnet designation for quality patient care and nursing excellence.*

The Magnet Recognition Program distinguishes health care organizations that demonstrate excellence in nursing and meet 164 individual criteria points. To achieve this prestigious status, the Magnet Recognition Program requires that a hospital undergo a rigorous evaluation that includes extensive interviews with registered nurses, and a review of nursing services, clinical outcomes and patient care.
